Quick info
About Manchester Massage
On Swan St in Manchester, Manchester Massage is a massage therapist with a wide treatment menu that suits clients who want more than one style under the same roof. Thai massage and herbal compression sit alongside deep tissue, back and couples massage, so a visit can be matched to what each person is after. Facials and back scrubs are also offered, including a 25-minute mini facial, and the therapist asks about skin type and past reactions before a facial begins. A reception desk greets customers on arrival, and during treatment the therapists explain what they are about to do and what comes next. Clients who prefer a particular product can have their own oils used.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers most often praise deep work on tight backs, shoulders and knots, with several describing therapists who have strong hands and release tension that had lingered for years. One deep tissue session leaned on stretching rather than traditional massaging, and the reviewer slept better and noticed improved posture afterwards. Close behind are facials, including a mini facial paired with a back scrub, and Indian head massage, which one reviewer says cleared a persistent headache. Couples massages come up too, with pairs describing a calm, relaxing room and therapists who spoke only to explain the next step. One couple appreciated that their own oils were used. Reception is described as warm, friendly and welcoming, and a few reviewers call the treatments affordable. The one recurring caveat is mild: a regular says a couple of past therapists did not suit their personal style, though most of their visits were good. Several reviewers end by saying they will return and ask for the same therapist again.

“Went for a mini facial (25 mins) and a back scrub (25 mins) with Saba and I must say she was fabulous! From the second I went in she made me feel so comfortable, she asked me whether I've had these treatments before, what my skin type was, whether I had had any reactions in the past, and even asked if I was comfortable for her to do a mini massage when she moisturised my back. She did an absolutely amazing job, even scrubbing my elbows and giving me a little neck massage when doing the facial! Manchester Massage is the best value for money I've seen, and it was genuinely such a wonderful, relaxing and lovely experience. Could not recommend it more! Will definitely be back.”

“I’ve been coming to MM for a few years now and it’s amazing for affordable massage treatments. However, I had to leave a review after my experience yesterday. I had a deep tissue with Bea and I’ve never felt such relief from my tight, knotty shoulders. She spent a lot of time stretching rather than traditional massaging, but my GOD it has relieved tension that I’ve had in my shoulders and back for years. I slept so much better and my posture instantly improved. I’m still in shock to be honest! I can’t wait to come back to see Bea again. Incredible, thank you!”

“I am updating my opinion after a very disappointing experience. Yesterday, as soon as my massage session ended and I was still lying on the bed getting dressed, Sandy took my phone and asked me to leave a review. She stood over me while I was writing it, making sure I posted it. Because of that, any previous positive review under my name should be disregarded, as I did not feel comfortable giving an honest opinion at the time. Unfortunately, I can no longer find that review to remove it. During the massage, I also noticed her repeatedly tearing pieces of the paper covering on the massage bed to blow her nose, which I found very unhygienic and unprofessional. Since the appointment, I have become extremely unwell with flu-like symptoms and severe sinus issues. The right side of my face is swollen, and my body has been aching since the massage. While I cannot say with certainty what caused my illness, the hygiene standards I witnessed during the session left me very concerned. Another uncomfortable aspect of the treatment was that she massaged my breast area without asking for consent or explaining what she was doing beforehand. This caught me off guard and made me feel very uncomfortable. It's disappointing because my first visit to this spa in October last year was excellent, which is why I returned. However, after this experience, I will not be coming back. I believe customers should be able to leave honest reviews without pressure, and professionalism, hygiene, and clear communication should always be a priority.”

“Honestly, this is my genuine review as a regular customer at Manchester Massages because the girls here deserve recognition 😭 First, there was a lovely girl with dark orangey hair - I *think* her name was Nicole? She was amazing and gave my husband such a good massage. He left relaxed lol. Elena (the Romanian lady I believe!) is AMAZINGGG at deep back massages. Her hands are STRONG 😭 she always got rid of my tension and knots properly. I used to specifically ask for her every time, so I was so happy to hear she’s back. Love her. Anisa is honestly the sweetest ever. She’s actually my friend now 😂 her facials are FABBBB, she’s officially my facial girlll. So relaxing, girly chats, drama updates, therapy session included hahaha. She’s also really good at back massages and opening knots properly!!!! Lastly… Vanessa 😭. DAMN she really opened ALL my knots and pressure points. She kept telling me to take deep breaths and I genuinely felt like I could breathe again afterwards lol. You can tell she’s very experienced and knows exactly what she’s doing. I’m definitely bringing my husband to her too. Of course, like anywhere, not every single massage will be everyone’s personal style - my husband mentioned there were one or two therapists in the past he personally didn’t click with as much, and same for me...but honestly most of my experiences here have been really good, especially with these girls specifically (Also hope I got the first girl’s name right 😭 I may come back just to find out who she was lol. I swear there was another lady too who gave me the BEST Indian head massage ever but I can’t remember her name either hahaha.)”

“I always love coming here for massages and facials. Kelly is exceptional at facials and is the reason I keep returning. The whole team is consistently professional, friendly and efficient, which makes every visit a great experience. Lisa on reception also deserves a mention, she’s always welcoming and incredibly helpful. A fantastic place that I’d highly recommend!”
